2016 Canada 20 Dollar 1-oz Silver Swarovski Maple NGC PF69UCAM Early Releases

A Unique Look at Canada's Most Important Natural Resource!

Speak with any Canadian or anyone who has travelled in Canada about the country's natural scenery and you are certain to hear about its vast, beautiful forests. Breathtaking throughout the year, they are particularly so in the fall, when the leave change color. Canadian forests are home to several species of trees, with British Columbia's Bigleaf Maple among the most celebrated. This coin features a hiking trail that runs through some of those trees, as well as a few colorized leaves. Hanging from one of the leaves is a drop of water in the form of a Swarovski crystal. This offers a stunning representation of the resource that sustains Canada's flora and fauna.
